The diet starts Monday!

have you heard of secret diet drops? i found them on facebook, the diet is hard but the drops make it easier! I have lost 2 stone in 5 months

That's the Simeons Diet. It's been around since the 1940s and is a favourite of fraudsters because it naturally produces results that look spectacular and can be attributed to whatever snake oil they're selling.

I have 1 st to lose, I'm starting the 5-2 diet today, I've read a lot of good reviews about it, and I think it's something I could stick with x

I run, Zumba, body combat,and body attack. I live in trainers and Nike leggings and should be a size 6 in theory! Lol

Are you not doing anything with weights? If not, you definitely should as that's all cardio you're doing at the moment. Can you try a Body Pump class too? I was doing Body Attack, Step, Body Combat etc and, although I didn't need/want to lose weight, I saw a big difference in my body once I started doing Body Pump.

Definitely ignore the scales if you do start weights though, you'll gain muscle quickly and weigh more.

I joined slimming world a couple of weeks ago. Last night was my second weigh in and i've lost 6.5lb so far.

I have quite a long way to go, i'm currently 17st4lb, 5ft6 and size 18-20, sometimes 22 on top because i'm big busted. Like the other poster said, i don't look right too small, so i'm going to aim for 13 stone and see how i feel then.

Good luck everybody with your new start xx

I also do 2 CX works classes a week which are all resistance work think my metabolism has been ruined by years of stupid diets like Atkins, fasting, cabbage soup, maple syrup..in not going back down the horrible roat if "diets' eat healthily and move more, don't diet

Didnt start eating less but cut down on the coke during the day.

Down to 10stone!!

I'd still cut out some of the cardio and replace it with a Body Pump if you can. CXWorx is good too but you're lifting quite heavy weights with Pump so it really does make a difference.

Very sensible attitude, fad diets are definitely not the way to go! If you don't lose any weight then you should just be happy that you're fit and healthy and that's how you're meant to be. We're all different, that's what makes us interesting :biggrin:
